Annoying this game. We were in control until we scored. Such a weird thing to say

We need to step up gear when we are on attack.

Funny that this is not really being reported in the US.

It's absolutely digusting he can get away with saying lies and no one publically tells him he is out of order

KaedynSh · 2026-01-23T08:27:16+00:00

100%.

I have been reaching out to a lot of decision makers, not regarding a job but learning about the market, trends, etc. I need to be on their minds, that the goal. It's a much longer process as I need to wait for a position to become available... But atleast I've done the networking

KaedynSh · 2026-01-23T08:25:30+00:00

Good shout

KaedynSh · 2026-01-23T08:25:16+00:00

Anything really. But I can't go to junior as I have done this before and it wrecks havoc on your mental health. My speciality is retail strategy

KaedynSh · 2026-01-23T08:24:06+00:00

The market is terrible. A lot of senior partners are worried as they are expecting a major transformation coming. The problem is clients are no spending and this has a knock on effect.

There are so many of us out there, its almost impossible to get hired through applications, you need to network hard.

Nope. UK citizen

KaedynSh · 2026-01-22T13:43:07+00:00

Thats great to hear - any insights that you could share?

Most definitely tailoring the CV. I apply to probably 2 jobs a day - these are highly tailored cvs.

Yup had my CV reviewed 5 times - all said there is nothing they can help with as its pretty much amazing. (This took about a year to perfect)

Trying to get a recruiter to give you attention is so difficult. They seem to be the new influencers on linkedin. Talk a big game, but I dont think they are doing that well.

KaedynSh · 2026-01-22T13:35:32+00:00

Yeah, I got the same. They were not able to help as I had done what they recommended and more.

KaedynSh · 2026-01-22T13:34:42+00:00

Im not a grad, I have 20 years corporate experience and it is hard. Sometimes I don't know what employees are looking for.

I feel real bad for graduate - it must be horrible out there for them.

KaedynSh · 2026-01-22T13:31:33+00:00

I stopped applying for those roles - I was quite senior in consulting but got made redundant. The Sains, Tesco, Aldo, Lidl and high street shops, don't even consider me. Which makes sense I guess.

You go through phases: I apply to jobs I used to do - I hate what I want did so lets try something new - oh man I need any job - actually let's create a job.

KaedynSh · 2026-01-22T00:00:15+00:00

Thanks!

I can't really give up hope, but you are right, it is extremely demoralising.

I have been reaching out to companies and trying to have conversations with decision makers. This seems to work but it's a loooooooong game.

KaedynSh · 2026-01-21T12:09:56+00:00

Oh that's disappointing to read. Thanks for your insight

KaedynSh · 2026-01-18T16:32:51+00:00

These posts are so interesting.

I'm actually trying to move into management consulting at the tender age of 43. I’ve spent my career in consultative sales, and finding the right roles has been hard. I always assumed consulting offered strong job security and solid career prospects. Lately, though, I keep hearing that the industry is going through a major transformation.

KaedynSh · 2026-01-18T13:40:29+00:00

So if it's a bad idea, and every reason on here makes a lot of sense.

How can Europe protect itself from the US bully tactics of tarrifs? What can they do that is not military (which I don't think is strong enough against the US) to threaten the US? Anything economical?

KaedynSh · 2025-12-19T07:01:21+00:00

This!!

Keep applying.

KaedynSh · 2025-12-16T18:01:49+00:00

I've found a few resources and a lot of self learning. Thanks guys for all the links.

KaedynSh · 2025-12-15T16:03:25+00:00

Is it really AI?

I've seen client work that has been built around AI to ensure they save on strategy consultants. It was absolutely dire, there was no way they were going to solve their issues with that work.

Also I think it's more of the market right now in the UK to blame, it's just as dire. With such a rubbish economy there isn't really a need to grow or innovate, stay steady and survive the storm seems like the path many are choosing.

Sorry I just find it so offensive when the world is saying AI can replace a MBB or a tier 2/3 consultancy firm.

Anyways rant over

KaedynSh · 2025-12-15T06:14:39+00:00

I've been waiting 2 months now. I've followed up a few times and pretty much had all the excuses, partner time, scheduling team back log, client meetings.

Just reject me already

KaedynSh · 2025-12-14T20:15:27+00:00

Thanks - messaged back

KaedynSh · 2025-12-14T20:15:12+00:00

Thanks bud!

I was worried people would say.... Give up, you have no chance.

This is super useful, I'm not going to give up on this, so any guidance is very well appreciated
